"I missed you, Darlin'," Logan whispered.
Lily sighed, "I missed you too, Logan."
Logan smiled and kissed her nose. Taking Lily by the hand, Logan led her to his truck. Logan opened the door for Lily, and she got in the truck. The first thing that Lily and Logan did was to have breakfast. They went to their usual diner, where they talked about what they had been doing for the past two weeks.
Logan told Lily how it was a complete nightmare following Howard Stark around Las Vegas as he drank and gambled, "The casinos are too loud, the people are obnoxious, and the girls wouldn't stop hitting on me," Logan explains.
Lily raises an eyebrow, "Oh, really? None of the women caught your eye, Logan?"
Logan smirks, "I only have eyes for you, Darlin', every other woman is a blur."
Lily smiles and blushes. After Logan tells Lily how his two weeks went, Lily tells him what she had been doing, "Nothing special, I went out with the girls, moved into my new dorm, got all my books for class. Though I forgot to tell you that I decided to go into the medical field," Lily tells Logan.
"That's great, Darlin', you'll make a great doctor."
"I hope so, Logan."
After breakfast, Lily asks Logan what they were going to do first. Logan smirks, "We're going to do something that I would only do for you."
"And what's that?"
"We're going to take a helicopter tour of the city."
Lily beamed at Logan then frowns, "But, Logan, you hate flying."
"I know, but I also know that this is something you'll enjoy so I'm willing to do this for you."
Lily wraps her arms around Logan's neck and kisses him, "Thank you for doing this for me."
"Anything for you, Darlin'."
Logan drives down to Manhattan's Downtown Heliport where the helicopter is waiting for them. Lily looks a little apprehensive as she looks at the helicopter.
"I've never been in a helicopter before," Lily confesses to Logan.
"It's been a while for me, but we'll get through it together," Logan tells Lily then squeezes Lily's hand.
The pilot comes over and asks the couple if they're ready. Lily and Logan look at each other and nod. They make their way over to the helicopter, get in and strap themselves in. The pilot tells them to put on the headset so that way they can hear each other. As soon as Lily and Logan are ready, the pilot takes off.
They soar off into the sky, looking over the New York skyline. In the early morning light, the city looks beautiful. They get a close-up of the Statue of Liberty, soar over Central Park, New York Harbour and Yankees Stadium. They see the Brooklyn Bridge, Coney Island and Governors Island, Hudson River, and NYC skyscrapers like the Chrysler and the Woolworth Buildings.
In thirty minutes, the flight is over, and the pilot takes Lily and Logan back to the helipad. As Logan helps Lily off the helicopter, he notices Lily's eyes are shining in wonderment. Lily couldn't get over how beautiful the City looked from the air. And how much fun it was to be in the sky. Lily thought that's what flying on a broom must feel like without all the wind in your face.
After that, Logan takes Lily to a parking garage so that he can leave his truck and they can walk around the City. Logan decided to take a cab to Brooklyn Botanic Garden, where he and Lily wandered around. They walked through Cranford Rose Garden, The Japanese Hill, and Pond Garden. And so many other beautiful sights.
By the time they had walked their way through the entire garden, it was time for lunch. Logan decided to take Lily to have Bar-B-Que. When Logan told Lily where he was taking her for lunch, she was intrigued.
"I've never had BBQ before."
"Well, Darlin', you're going to love this."
Logan ends up taking Lily to Hometown Bar-B-Que. They sit down at a table and are greeted by a friendly waitress who gives them their menus. Lily asks Logan to order for her since she has no idea what's good. Logan ends up ordering Lily a brisket sandwich with Smoked Pit Beans, and Backyard Potato Salad while he orders himself a sheet of beef ribs, Smoked Pit Beans, and backyard Potato Salad.
Lily watches Logan as he digs into his food and laughs, "You really like meat."
Logan smirks, "What can I say, I'm a true carnivore."
Lily enjoys her brisket sandwich and the sides. She drinks her soda while Logan drinks a beer. Once they finish lunch, they take a cab back to New York, where they go to the American Museum of Natural History. They spend hours exploring the museum. After that, they take a carriage ride through Central Park.
The last place they go is to take a walk along the water at Brooklyn Bridge Park. It is a perfect ending to a perfect day. Logan wraps his arms around Lily as they watch the sunset. But they are both distracted. Logan keeps thinking that he needs to tell Lily he's a mutant, while Lily keeps thinking she needs to tell Logan she's a witch.
Lily turns around and looks up at Logan. She reaches up and kisses him causing Logan to sigh, "There's something I have to tell you," Lily and Logan say at the same time.
They look at each other, surprised.
"You go first," They say at the same time.
Lily gathers her Gryffindor courage. She looks Logan in the eyes and takes hold of his hands.
"I have to tell you something significant, Logan, but I don't want you to freak out."
Logan raises an eyebrow, "Okay, what is it?"
"Now, you may not believe what I'm about to tell you, but I promise you that it's all true," Lily takes a deep breath, "I am a witch. A wand wave, broom riding, potions brewing honest to goodness witch. I learned that I was a witch when I was eleven years old when a professor showed up at my house with a letter of acceptance to a wizarding school in Scotland. She explained to me that I would be attending Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. There I would learn how to control my magic. I just graduated from there this summer."
Logan stared at her for a moment. The story that Lily had just told him was too incredible. Were there such things as Witches and Wizards? How come no one knew about them? The more Logan thought about it, the more he believed it. He had to; Logan could smell that Lily wasn't lying. Besides if Mutants could exist, why couldn't Witches and Wizards?
By this point, Lily was starting to panic; the longer Logan stayed quiet, the more she panicked. Lily squeezes his hands, "Logan, I know this is a lot to take in, but please say something."
"I believe you, Darlin', and I have no problem with you being a Witch."
"Really?"
"Yes, but the thing is I have something to tell you too."
Lily laughs, "Don't tell me you're a Wizard."
"No, I'm a Mutant."
"What's a Mutant?"
Logan goes on to explain to Lily what exactly a Mutant is. He goes as far as to show her his bone claws to prove his point. Logan even rakes his claws across his arm to demonstrate his healing factor. Lily's eyes widen.
"Because I have this healing factor, I'm a lot older than I look,"
"How old are you?"
"I'm 138 years old. I was born in Canada in 1840."
Lily stares at him, then suddenly she hugs and kisses him, "I don't care. If you can accept me for who I am, I can accept you. I love you."
Logan smiles and hugs her back, "Of course I can, Darlin' And I love you too," Logan says then kisses the top of Lily's head, "There's just one more thing I have to tell you."
Lily snuggles into Logan's chest, "What's that, Love."
"I need to let you know that… you're my mate."
Lily looks up at Logan, "I beg your pardon?"
